Setting up categories to teams

Hi guys,

Ok here is what I want. I have one project area. Within it I have development on three separate items. I have three separate teams. I want team one to only see releases applicable to it, I only want them to select categories which belong to it, and I want them to only see iterations (planned for) which are applicable to it.

What I have done. I created two additional timelines beyond main. I added their own iteration plans. I marked the appropriate ones current. I created two additional teams - not subteams. I created three categories. Category one associated to first team (main). Category 2 and 3 associated to their respective teams. I created the releases and marked them "show only to project area members". There are no users defined at the project level - only within their teams.

I open web client... every user sees every release and can select any iteration. They only see the category assigned to them and the owners field only shows the members associated with the correct team. I don't want them seeing every release and iteration.

I open Eclipse client... every users sees every release, every iteration and every category....

What am I missing or is this as it was intended to work?

Categories only control what is visible in a given plan ... nothing
else. So if you want to actually hide information from users, you need
to create multiple project areas (overall visibility can only be
controlled at the project level ... except for SCM data like baselines
and change-sets, which are controlled at the component level).

Cheers,
Geoff
